Increasing demand for blood warmers in military and ambulatory surgical centers also contributing to the market growth for blood warmers. People in extreme cold weather conditions are at a high risk of suffering from hypothermia, which could result in fatalities among admitted patients and can cause physical trauma.
Most of the surgeries require transplantation and implants, which are stored under extremely cold conditions to limit microbial infection. Such implants are observed to reduce a patient’s body temperature, thereby necessitating the need for patient heating systems. Weaker patients find it difficult to regulate body temperature, therefore, require body warming devices to help them in reducing complication rate.
Moreover, rising cases of surgical procedures also led to the demand for both portable and non-portable warming devices. Such devices help surgeons in maintaining a patient’s body temperature at the optimum levels to prevent the onset of hypothermia. Under hospital settings, non-portable blood warmers are used to heat an individual’s blood and it is a more affordable and easier option to maintain.
